on-demand mini hot water heaters in the kitchen - instant water for tea at your fingertips.
Those, I've seen - if you mean the ones that are attached to the sink?
they shut off if the water boils away, so it doesn't melt down
That's helpful! But my tea kettle whistles, so I notice when it's ready. It's _not_ quiet. :)
people I cook for soon begin to say they "forgot" how to cook, which seems to be an excuse to have me do all the cooking. It's happened more than once.
Well, for me, I have - once - gotten in the habit of cooking relatively regularly, but once I stopped, I really did forgot how to cook what I cooked most often. I'd need the recipe again.
Experimenting tends to result in... not terribly appetizing food, when I do it. *shrug*
